because the consumer market pays more for 'fashionable' designs that fit contemporary sensibilities

you don't understand that graphic design is not an artistic endeavour but an economically oriented service that aims to maximize profits by connecting to a populations aesthetic standards.

Everything you just said is all true, and it perfectly describes why I hate graphic design, interior design, home Reno shows, most "art" based industries in general.
It's not about making something that tells it's own story or has its own personality, it's about trying to robotically generate something that appeals to everyone to sell as many products as possible, so they make something so bland, so generic, so uninspired and pedestrian, that it appeals to no one, but is merely "meh" to most observers. They really want to just make something that doesn't OFFEND anyone and turn away customers. But everyone knows brilliant art is bold and not afraid to offend. But that is not compatible with maximizing sales. It's the reason most people can't tell the difference between an AI generated logo and a human created one: both are based on the most generic conglomeration of training data, either in the machine, as in the case of AI, or the human's brain at cal arts when they drop $60,000 to learn Toon Boom and draw bean mouths to please their industry overlords with generic crap that some risk-averse producer thinks will sell well.
Then these designers whine about
>AI SLOP AI SLOP ITS SOULLESS AND TAKING OUR JERBS!!!! MUH JERB! WE ARE TRUE ARTISTS CRANKING OUT THOUGHTFUL ART, NOT DA CLANKERZ AND EEEEEVIL TECH BROS!!!!!
MUH JERB MUH JERB!!! CLANKERZ WILL NOT REPLACE US!!!!!(insert illogical and legally unprecedented nonsense about training data being copyright infringement in a desperate effort to build some kind of argument that doesn't sound like it's based purely on emotion and fear of being replaced by a slopbot better at generating slop than themselves)
>>
hyperfocusing on a logomark rather than the target technology, utility, styleguides and UI toolkits around it is skitzo brainlet tier.

the dumbo round fixed stroke width uppercase G is more readable in a tiny 1:1 dark or light bg rectangle/circle (favicon, social media avatar), easier to recognize among the other slop, easier to scale and animate than the serif ones. no critical areas of detail would disappear in a shitty crusty jpg compression image. that makes it more effective. these things are not meant to be artwork, merely recognizable and readable

and being able to claim something close to a plain geometric shape like circle or rectangle of fixed stroke width or fill as yours while remaining completely recognizable is also a corporate egotism.

your rant is mostly emotional posturing without much substance, don't you think?

you hate graphic design because it's not "real art"? so what's your alternative for making mass consumption goods appealing to wide audiences, then? hating something without an alternative is dumb, like hating gravity for making groceries heavy. you hate plumbing for not being real art too? or does your hate just stem from feeling lied to, from realizing that you fell for someone abusing your rose-tinted glasses? kek

>brilliant art is bold and not afraid to offend
bs! art is art. sometimes offensive, sometimes safe - declared art when it resonates with its moment. your personal taste doesnt matter to the larger question of what art even is. it's just snobbish projection. you're mad that 'working as intended' doesn't feel special enough lol?

complaining about 'bean mouths'?! bruh your opinions are as derivative as the logos you're whining about.
**graphic design isn't an artistic endeavor, it's a service.** no matter what the Cal Arts brochure says. it's about building shit, informed by consumer psychology and insights from actual art - closer to engineering than genuine expression.
you went in expecting poetry and got plumbing, so now you're having a tantrum. but there's no real alternative to plumbers doing plumbing in the current environment, is there?

>mocking designers for worrying about AI taking their jobs
cheap cruelty dressed up as insight. many of these people trained for years, exchanged parts of their individuality for corporate logic, and now face heartless sacrifice in the form of obsolescence. your response is to sneer at them for... caring about their livelihoods?
must be nice living with your parents.

In case you weren't aware, submissions are open for a little under 3 more days for this logo design contest! (2 days, 23 hours from this post, more or less.) Once all the designs are in, ranked-choice vote decides the main graphical element for the next 4chan inter-board CPU soccer cup!

(Yes this is the 2023 Autumn design; it's coincidentally being hosted by /co/ again, so cartoon and comic inspired designs are not necessary, but will probably do well. That and 2024 Autumn was hosted by the pony board and I don't wanna risk breaking containment.)

Per the organizer: you must supply a high-res PNG file (5000x5000 limit) and the original multi-layer source file. Additionally, you must supply a "qualifiers" version/variant as well as the main logo. Submissions should be sent to his Gmail account, which can be found on the wiki proper. Asset links below!

It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.
99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.
I try to tell this to people but they're in denial

Hello! I’m working on a project about maximalism and I need some help figuring out what to add to this composition. I’m a beginner, so I’d really love to hear your opinions. The aesthetic is Y2K, futuristic, pop, and glam.

Thank you in advance for your help! English is my second language, so I might sound a bit strange — sorry about that.

You don't have to buy it, it's exactly same program as community qcad, you can use that.
Onstott just adapted it for ease of use, aimed specifically at creativity and geometry, plus made a very good video teaching series on how to use it.

BTW there are some outrageously priced "Sacred Geometry" apps out there preying on the trend. Onstotts is actually the best one and the cheapest.

same anon here, after 8 days, Gimp is awesome, 3.0, okay, could be a bit better sometimes in the interface but I don't use shortcuts yet, that could help. Also it crashes every once in a while so save your work often.

Honestly have no idea how many he will sell and that's my problem.
I feel like I might get fucked If I ask for royalties.

It's def not going to be a big seller i'm sure of that.

I asked grok and here's what he said :

>Flat Fee
Set a fixed price based on project tiers (e.g., basic edit vs. full integration).
Predictable for client
$100–250 for basic adaptation; $300+ if it includes print-ready files.

>Value-Based
Price based on the project's impact (e.g., 5–10% of expected book revenue).
Maximizes earnings for high-value work.
If the book could earn $5K, charge $250–500.
